Just ignore
17、 them, my mother advised.And I did.Just on the surface.Eventually,I graduated,got accepted to college,launched a rewarding career,got married and raised two amazing boys.But when I looked in the mirror,the doubts returned.Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. Why would you go
18、back there?I thought you didnt like high school.

24、溉)is rapidly gaining ground.More than 500,000 solar pumps(泵)have been set up in south Asia over the last few years and a major expansion is planned across subSaharan Africa.Dustin Garrick,professor in the School of Environment,Resources and Sustainability,along with an international team,examined th
25、e trend toward solar pumps as a clear opportunity for boosting agricultural yields and reducing poverty,but the opportunity comes with risks.While replacing electric or gas pumps with solarpowered irrigation holds the promise of reducing carbon emissions(排放),it is not guaranteed.Farmers who have acc
26、ess to these pumps may expand production of crops or diversify into other activities,which are not emissions neutral.Solar pumps will increase groundwater pumping efficiency,which may be desirable in regions that support such increases,but this could worsen groundwater lessening in regions that are
27、already stressed.The cheap clean energy of solar pumps may lead to increased groundwater development,without necessarily decreasing overall emissions.Despite these challenges,the cleanenergy boost can serve as a stimulus for positive change in water and energy management but will require enhanced re
28、gulation and planning in both lowand highincome settings.Garrick and his team advocate for improved data collection initiatives,with a shift from separated to integrated approaches.They suggest using technology to measure water pumping and collecting remotely sensed data to monitor land use changes.
29、As well,regulatory improvements are crucial,with mounting limits for carbon emissions and groundwater lessening established at various levels.With groundwater management already a difficult challenge,we must act fast to understand the implications of the clean energy boost and poverty reduction acts
30、 to avoid these gains being won away by wells running dry.The rapid adoption of solar irrigation intensifies the urgency,demanding adaptation from governments and institutions to sail through these complexities.(1)According to paragraph 3,there is a conflict between .Apoor farmers and solarpowered i

APerform as the authorities suggest.BAct based on further understanding.CQuicken the adoption of solar irrigation.DChallenge the groundwater management.(4)Which of the following is the best tit

34、f.The discovery could help solve a dangerous and growing problem how to clean up the pollution of forever chemicals.The group of chemicals known as PFAS (全氟烷基物) are pretty amazing.Theyre nonstick,waterproof,and oil proof.They dont burn easily or dissolve (溶解) in water.So scientists got really excite
35、d when they were discovered.Businesses started putting PFAS in all sorts of products,from nonstick pans to waterproof clothes,and from firefighting spray to carpets that resist stains.Even things like food wrappers and floss for cleaning your teeth contain PFAS chemicals.But after a while,scientists
36、 realized the same things that made the chemicals useful also caused a real problem PFAS doesnt break down in nature.It doesnt dissolve in water or burn.Not even bacteria can break PFAS down.No wonder these chemicals are known as forever chemicals.As a result,PFAS chemicals surge in the environment.
37、The chemicals are found in air,water,and dirt around the worldand in animals and people.In the US,97% of humans have PFAS in their blood.Luckily,scientists in the US have now found a way to break down some PFAS chemicals.Their solution requires boiling PFAS with two other very common chemicals.These
38、 chemicals can be found in just about any laboratory.Dr.Brittany Trang,one of the scientists involved,said she didnt even want to test the idea at first. I thought it was too simple, she said.But the process worked.The research involved 10 types of PFAS,including two of the most common kinds.Thats a
39、 big step.But there are over 12,000 different kinds of PFAS.Its important to note that the new method can only break down PFAS chemicals that have already been collected.Figuring out how to remove PFAS chemicals from the environment and collect them remains a huge challenge.(1)What can we infer abou
40、t PFAS chemicals from paragraph 2? AScientists were so excited to invent them.BThey were environmentally friendly at first.CThey are really widely used in our daily life.DThey have more advantages than disadvantages.(2)What does the underlined word surge in paragraph 4 refer to? AIncrease fast.BFloa
41、t everywhere.CExtend fully.DReact quickly.(3)What does the author think of dealing with PFAS chemicals? AIts already too late to get rid of them.BTheres still a long way to go about it.CThe new method is too simple to work well.DIts impossible to get them removed from the environment.(4)Which is the
